The DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart+ Switches with Fibre Uplinks is the latest
generation of D-Link smart switches featuring D-Link Green 3.0 technology. The
series offers a high level of energy saving and efficiency, as it also complies
with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard. IPv6 Ready Logo
Program Approved, support for IPv6 management and configurations ensures your
network remains protected after the upgrade from IPv4 to IPv6. By offering
multiple management options, the Smart+ Switches allows quick deployment,
infrastructure expansion, and seamless function upgrades. Built for small and
medium-sized businesses, the DGS-1210 Series Smart+ Switches provide
functionality, security, and manageability for a fraction of the standard cost
of ownership.

The DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart+ Switches with Fibre Uplinks includes a range
of high power budget PoE-enable switches for businesses looking to power VoIP
phones, wireless access points or network cameras. The DGS-1210-10P is a 8-port
Smart PoE+ Switch that provides 8 PoE-enabled ports that can supply power of up
to 30 W each. Whereas the DGS-1210-28P is a Smart PoE+ Switch with a power
budget of 187 W, that provides 24 PoE-enabled ports with ports 1-4 supporting up
to 30 W of power output following IEEE 802.3at standard. The design allows more
flexibility in power allocation for a variety of powered devices with affordable
installation costs.

Easy Management

The D-Link Gigabit Smart+ Switches with Fibre Uplinks is designed for easy
management. All configurations can be made through a Web interface regardless of
the host PC’s operating system. Furthermore, the web UI contains ten language
options to make operations more straightforward. During the first installation,
the SmartConsole Utility will automatically discover all D-Link Smart+ Switches
in the network, allowing administrators to assign IP addresses and the subnet
mask quickly. It also allows simultaneous firmware upgrades to multiple switches,
saving a great deal of time. The SmartConsole Utility’s important management
commands, such as downloading firmware or a configuration file, offer a
sophisticated method of batch operations for multiple switches.

Energy Saving

DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart+ Switches with Fibre Uplinks are capable of
conserving power without sacrificing operational performance or functionality by
using D-Link Green 3.0 technology. Using the Energy Efficient Ethernet standard,
the network will automatically decrease the power usage when traffic is low with
no setup required. For environments not fully supporting the standard, DGS-1210
Series Smart+ Switches offer advanced power-saving settings including port
shutoff and standby, LED shutoff, and system hibernation based on custom
scheduling profiles. The profiles can also be applied to the PoE switch so that
there is no unnecessary power consumption during off hours. The DGS-1210 Series
switches can also detect the length of connected cables to automatically reduce
power usage on shorter cable connections.

Auto Surveillance VLAN and Voice VLAN

The process of setting up IP surveillance and VoIP on a network is automated
with the D-Link Smart+ Switches. Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV) consolidates data
and surveillance video transmission through the network, sparing businesses the
expense of maintaining dedicated facilities. ASV also protects the quality of
real-time video by grouping IP surveillance devices on a single high priority
VLAN. This ensures that surveillance video streams will not be affected when
ordinary data traffic is at their highest levels. Similarly, the Auto Voice VLAN
guarantees clear audio quality and efficient transmission for all voice
communication.

Exclusive Layer 2 Features

Equipped with a complete line-up of L2 features, the DGS-1210 Series switches
include IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree, and Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function allows servers to
directly connect to the switch for fast, reliable data transfer. At 2000 Mbps
Full Duplex, the Gigabit ports provide high-speed data pipes to servers with
minimum data transfer loss. Network maintenance features include Loopback
Detection and Cable Diagnostics. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops
created by a specific port and automatically shut down the affected port. The
Cable Diagnostic feature is designed primarily for administrators and customer
service representatives, and can rapidly discover the type of error and
determine the cable quality.
